Issue #8662 has been reported by Josh Cooper. ---------------------------------------- Bug #8662: Puppet.features.root? always returns true on Windows https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8662
Author: Josh Cooper Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: windows Target version: Telly Affected Puppet version: Keywords: Branch: On Windows, Puppet.features.root? always returns true, even when running as a non-admin user. It should only return true if we are running with elevated privileges. Part of the problem is that Puppet.features.root, invokes SUIDManager.root?, which calls Process.uid, without first requiring the win32/process gem. And without it, Process.uid always returns 0. We also need to investigate what code paths occur when root? is true or false, and make sure they make sense on Windows. For example, the file provider will attempt to set the owner and group of files that it manages when running as root, but the capability to obtain and set owner/group info is not implemented yet on Windows. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
